New Delhi: The investigation and post-mortem process in Madhya Pradesh’s high-profile Twisha Sharma dowry death case has now taken a new turn. According to information received from the Delhi-based All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), the court order had granted the authority to constitute a medical board exclusively to the Director of AIIMS Delhi. Subsequently, on Saturday morning, AIIMS Delhi received a request from officials of the Madhya Pradesh government—along with the court order—to conduct a second post-mortem.
Special Medical Board Constituted
Following this, Dr. Sudhir Gupta, Head of the Forensic Department at AIIMS Delhi, constituted a special medical board comprising four senior doctors, with the approval of the Director. This team will conduct Twisha Sharma’s second post-mortem. It has been reported that this medical team, equipped with modern instruments, will depart for Madhya Pradesh at 6:00 PM on Saturday aboard a state government-chartered aircraft.
High Court Issued Orders For CBI Inquiry
Earlier on Friday, Twisha Sharma’s family members expressed their gratitude to the Madhya Pradesh government and the High Court for ordering a CBI inquiry into the case and granting permission for a second post-mortem. The High Court issued this order while hearing a petition filed by Twisha Sharma’s family.
The family had challenged a lower court’s decision that had refused to grant permission for a re-post-mortem. The family alleged that the initial post-mortem was marred by various discrepancies and procedural lapses, thereby raising questions regarding the impartiality of the investigation.
